Slide duration for users

Hi everyone - Is there a way to allow a learner to see how long a slide will be when taking a course? Is it possible to show this in the menu next to the slide titles or in the seek bar somehow? 

  • Hi Amanda,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    If you're looking to track the elapsed time spent on a slide by your learners, you can use Storyline 360's elapsed time variables, specifically "Slide.ElapsedTime". You can read more about this variable here:

    You'll need to add variable references to display the actual value of the variable in your slide, but there isn't a way to dynamically add them to the slide titles shown in the menu bar. 

    Let me know if this is what you were looking for!

    No, I'm looking for the user to be able to see how long the slide is...

      Hi arichnot!

      Glad to see Joe has been helping you! Thanks for following up!

      The type of functionality you described doesn't exist in Storyline yet. However, we are tracking a feature request to allow authors to add timestamps for all slide content. I'll share your feedback with our product team, and we'll provide updates if this enhancement makes it to our Feature Roadmap.
